Dance night with the girls. Kevin is at the Chancellors Christmas party and he just found out what time the toast for his company is. LOL i dont know why he thought he would be able to bounce out of there by 6pm.
Just had a near disaster. I brought sarah and maddie in during the class switch. Just before we got to the door i grabbed sarahs binky (she calls it her "MiMi") out of her mouth and stuck it in the pockef of my pullover. The woman that sits at the desk has made a couple comments about sarah having a binky still and while i try to not let it bother me, it kind of did. I dont think she was being mean or judgy about it - just maybe helpful without any prompting. She has high school aged kids and one of her daughters is the assistant teacher for the girls' classes. I dont know, its probably stupid but sometimes i feel like having three little ones makes people feel like i need all the help i can get. Meanwhile its like "listen, if u would stop yakking about what u think i should do then id be able to focus on my kids".
Anyway. When i came back out with sophia and sarah, i stuck my hand in my pocket and.... no mimi. Crap. And we still have quite a bit of time here.
Then Sophia turns to me and is like "i have to pee and i cant hold it. I have to go NOW!" Ughhhh. I didnt want to get sarah all undone again so she could run in to the bathroom. Thank god we are parked at the first space and i could run her to the door then to the car and watch for her again thru the window when she got out of the bathroom.
I grab her at the door and we take the three steps to the car and... theres sarahs mimi just sitting on the concrete ledge of the window as if i just laid it there. It must have went flying out of my pocket when i grabbed my keys out of my sweatshirt. Crisis averted. Cleaned it up with wipes and the tears that were starting up stopped. Thank god.
I have to remember to get stamps tomorrow for xmas cards. Ive had them addressed and in my bag. Got to get them in the mail. My SIL is taking the girls for a few hours tomorrow in the afternoon for arts and crafts so im using that time to get all the girls gifts together to see what i have and what it all looks like. I always dread this... i take it all out and then wonder where the rest of it is. It always feels like so much more till that first time i look at it all together. I dont feel better till its all wrapped and looking nice and full.
Later in the day, were heading to my SILs to meet up with the girls for a visit from Santa. My SIL and BIL make a large donation to the fire department every year and this year they are doing visits from santa to anyone who made X amount of a donation. Hes going to come to their house. I just hope hes a believable santa. Maybe one with a real beard. They had a santa at the dance recital and although his outfit was awesome (and probably VERY expensive given how detailed his cape was) he had a fake beard. I have a picture of Maddie while he was talking to her and her face just makes me wonder if she isnt questioning this whole santa thing already. I mean maybe it was just snapped at the right (or wrong) moment but i want more time with her believing so the more believable this guy is tomorrow, the better.
Ok class is looking like its about to wrap up. Gotta get evryone all ready to head on in then out.
